Join fellow book enthusiasts for a discussion of Homer Hickam’s Rocket Boys, led by Lex McGee, NASA history buff and son of Dr. Henry McGee, a member of Wernher von Braun’s rocketry team. Learn about Mr. von Braun’s controversial past and the Space Race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, an event that created both paranoia and concern, and sparked a much-needed revolution in scientific education in U.S. schools.
